Still D.R.E. (feat. Snoop Dogg)

Dr. Dre's 'Still D.R.E.' featuring Snoop Dogg is a bold reaffirmation of Dre's status in the hip-hop world. Released in 1999, this track serves as a comeback statement after a period of relative silence from Dre, following his groundbreaking album 'The Chronic' in 1992. The song's lyrics address his critics, his legacy, and his continued relevance in the rap game.

The opening lines, delivered by Snoop Dogg, set the tone with 'Still waters run deep,' suggesting that despite a calm exterior, there's a lot going on beneath the surface. Dre's verses then dive into his accomplishments and his influence on the genre. He talks about his lifestyle, his impact on the streets, and how despite the changes in the rap industry, he remains a central figure. The mention of signing Eminem and the success they've achieved together underscores Dre's role as a mentor and a mogul in the industry.

Throughout the song, Dre emphasizes his authenticity and resilience. The repeated line 'Still not loving police' harks back to his N.W.A. days and their famous critique of police brutality. The track is not just a celebration of Dre's past but also a declaration of his ongoing influence. The production, featuring a signature piano riff, is a nod to his mastery of beat-making. 'Still D.R.E.' is a testament to Dr. Dre's enduring presence in hip-hop and his ability to adapt and thrive amidst the genre's evolution.
